Lifted from the comments section: &quot;My frosted glass bathroom window is also transparent&quot;.<p>I think it sums this up quite well. Just dumping data and statistics doesn&#x27;t make a government transparent. Being open and answering direct questions with direct answers (MP expenses, Iraq Dossier, Rochdale scandal, Allegations of a Westminster Paedophile ring etc), rather than half-answering or outright delaying reports and inquiries until people forget about them or the general election has passed and the current government are safe in their seats for another 4 years would make them transparent.

The phrase &quot;damned with faint praise&quot; comes to mind…
